The quiet town of Denton, CA is as peaceful as it is beautiful. Tourists descend to the beach for surfing in the summer sun.
Description:
Locals venture out to Hal's Drive-In Theater to shoot the breeze and take in a flick and Sandy's Diner doles out dollar shakes by the truckload to keep everyone cool.
